I hope we take an offensive player to impact that side of the ball even though DG loves a strong defense.

I cant see Fournette hanging around that far at #8 and the more I think about it, the more id love to see us draft OJ Howard (if the Jets don't steal). He is the best TE product to come through an NFL draft for many years. With Carolina being so reliant on Olsen its a great time to roll out a 2 TE formation for a couple of years before Howard can then become the franchise TE for the future.

I like mccaffrey also but think OJ would be a greater fit for our style of play.

Would be very ideal for us if the QBs are picked early on tonight. Hoping for our pick to be one of the following; Fournette, Adams, Thomas, Howard or McCaffrey.
Fournette is the guy I really want but I have a feeling he'll be gone by 8.
I just know that regardless of who we pick later, we'll be getting a very good player for years to come.

I think it'll be McCaffrey, although there's a chance Fournette drops to #8. Howard would be a decent pick, but it would probably depend on whether Tennessee trade down from #5 or not. If they stay put, there's a good chance they take him.

Thought I would see if any fellow Panther fans are still here as I don't know a single one and my small group of NFL friends gets smaller and smaller lol.

What are everyone's expectations for the upcoming season?
I can see us going 10 - 6, a few tough games this season, especially away!
Very excited to see what new look offence does, expecting big things from McCaffrey.
